Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences and similarities between attachment and entry of HIV and influenza virus.
Introduction:
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and influenza virus infect different types of human cells. Both of the viruses possess RNA (ribonucleic acid) as their genome but HIV contains positive sense RNA genome whereas influenza virus contains negative sense RNA genome. The replication cycle of these viruses is different from each other.
